“Taylor has been absolutely wonderful! We booked her kind of last minute for weekly walks for our golden and she has been great. She is communicative, gives great updates and she’s flexible. We plan to continue using her services on a regular basis.”
“Grant and Yunrui are great. Coco loved Yunrui as soon as she entered our home during meet and greet. During the drop-in, everything went smoothly. Have already rebooked them for house-sitting Coco next week.”
“Grace was excellent with our two cats. One of them is very shy but she went out of our way to make sure she saw him and ensure all was well. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Veronica was great with our dog Ares. She responded quickly to all messages and sent me pictures with each visit. She was very accommodating with my last minute changes I had to make to the drop-in schedule and is very personable.”
“Ariana is such a thoughtful and exceptional pet sitter! She followed the instructions I left to a T, and went above and beyond with detailed reports of her visits. I could tell she genuinely cared about my kitty and spent extra time giving her love and affection. She made sure to send me lots of pictures and videos, and even brought in packages I received while away. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my cat was in such great hands! Ariana is the best!!”
About: With 25 years of experience in pet care, I bring a deep understanding of animals’ needs and an unwavering love for their well-being. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with three amazing cats, each of whom taught me the profound bond we can share with our pets. While their short lifespans have led me to focus more on pet-sitting now, my commitment to providing a safe, loving environment for all pets remains strong. I understand how much these companions mean to you, and I treat each one with the same care and affection I would my own. We have a family of three boys, the two older ones are in love with being able to have new dogs to pet! I am currently working full time, and my husband is home with our baby. My middle son has reached that age of being a ‘big helper’ with the pets we have been sitting. He loves helping me feed them and walk them. But especially, he loves to pet them! I am very dependable, I live in a very walkable pet friendly area. Close to Tacketts Mill pond for the dogs to walk around. We have a fenced in yard as well.
“Anna was quick to respond to a last minute request. She arrived on time and took great care of my elderly beagle. She provided a report every visit with pictures which was greatly appreciated. Will book again!”
“Definitely the best in town! Not only will she make your pet happy she will also take pretty awesome pictures of them, I go away alot for work and Lexa is always up for the job, I highly recommend her, maybe your cat/dog might learn some new tricks also?”
“Emily was amazing with my cat. My cat was comfortable with her from day one - which made me feel much more secure knowing that he was in good hands while I was away on my trip.”
“Mara was a perfect match for what we were looking for in a cat sitter. You can tell she actually cares for and loves pets. She communicated with me and responded to my messages right away. We will be adding her to our list for cat sitters in the future. And I say list only if she’s not available because she’d be our first choice.”
“I was very impressed Marcela. She did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Marcela was able to get my two cats to come out from hiding during her visits. She performed all of the tasks that I asked and kept me informed of any concerns. A job well done Marcella”
About: I have raised and taken care of several dogs and a few cats over the years. I make sure the walks taken get enough energy out. I also work full-time at a pet resort prioritizing pet comfort and safety. I’m currently full time, but I will be able to look after your furbabies! I am available anytime from 6am-10pm on Mondays and Tuesdays and 3-10 the rest of the days. There is a dog park located near my address. If I will be coming to your dog for walking, there will be extended walks and dog socialization as requested.
“Very communicative and helpful. I have two skittish cats and she managed to befriend them - that alone deserves 5 stars! Haha Did a great job, would totally recommend if you need someone to take care of your fur babies.”

Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!
Erica took wonderful care of our 3 cats while we were away for 3 days. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything stayed clean and comfortable for them. We really appreciated the updates and especially the pictures and knowing our pets were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter!
Teresa was fantastic! She was recommended to me by my previous kitty sitter. I am so happy I connected with her. She took care of my two cats, who can be high maintenance at times! She was a true pro and lots of fun. I could tell from the photos that my kitties were very comfortable with Teresa. I didn't worry one bit while I was on vacation - which is priceless! Thanks Teresa :)
I cannot express enough gratitude for the care provided by Nazira, our wonderful cat sitter. From the very first day, Nazira treated Grendel with warmth and careful attention, ensuring he felt safe and cherished. Her dedication to his well-being was evident in every detail—from the lovingly prepared meals to the playful moments that kept him entertained and relaxed. Nazira's remarkable consideration shines in how she kept me updated with regular photos and thoughtful messages. Every update reassured me that Grendel was thriving in an environment of care and affection. She balanced playtime with peaceful moments of rest, treating Grendel not just as a pet but as her cherished friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Nazira to anyone needing a compassionate, reliable, thoughtful cat sitter. With Nazira, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your furry friend receives the best care.
